>"Pagination persists because splitting a single-page article into two pages can, in theory, yield twice as many opportunities to display ads—though in practice it doesn’t because lots of readers never bother to click past the first page."

As much as I hate it and would love to think that pagination is just a publication pipedream, it's not.

Some online publications have spent (and will spend if they're interested in making $) significant time and $ A/B testing various levels of pagination such that their sites are optimized so that there are just fewer pages than their readership is unwilling to tolerate.

The end result is that their sites are optimized to make the most amount of money. If it didn't improve their revenues, they wouldn't be doing it.

Of course, there are copycats that don't do the testing, don't optimize for their niche of readers, and are probably losing both money and readers because of it.

We can argue about publications adopting different business models, but that's a different story. Advertisers pay a premium for engaged, targeted niche audiences that match their products/services. That's the reality of the online advertising market.

1. What's irrelevant about having robust and constantly-evolving phishing detection, and optimized flows for getting people back into their accounts? Both of these are important in a high-quality login system IMO.

2. You're right that a lot of folks fail to even try for security, but I disagree that outsourcing password management to facebook won't help them. If they get popped and have no passwords, all that leaks is the information specific to their site. If they get popped and have passwords, then in addition all those users' passwords (which they likely share with other sites) are now in the open. The damage has spread beyond the one clowny site and screwed over those users' experiences on wherever they shared passwords. We actually invest a fair amount of time in automated systems that look for leaked password dumps from such sites and help clean up users whose leaked passwords match their Facebook ones.

Also, even in cases where people did things more-right, it's still incredibly damaging. Look at LinkedIn (who was hashed but not salted) or Gawker (who was hashed and salted, albeit poorly).

3. I guess I didn't convey this very well, but my point was that building your own login system is difficult. Getting everything right to ensure it's secure is actually pretty difficult, and requires constant attention if you're under any kind of targeted attack.

As for making fake Facebook accounts... please don't do that. You'll just open yourself to a bunch of headaches, as we're pretty aggressive with removing fake accounts from the site.

Estimated around the end of this year, the amount of Bitcoins mined per day will be halved according to the schedule. If I understand correctly, this means that the cost to mine one BTC will double, roughly, if the mining capacity stays the same.

On top of that, some companies are, or should be coming out with ASIC-based miners, which are orders of magnitude faster in mining bitcoins than GPU's, at lower energy usage, increasing the total mining capacity.

Does the cost of mining one BTC influence the price of one BTC? Will these events have an influence on the price (if they were not already 'priced in')?
I wonder why they didn't consider going for a blended approach to the results (assuming there isn't too many permutations for the search term) with a disambiguation selector similar to the following, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test

If it didn't improve their revenues, they wouldn't be doing it.

I can assure you that this is absolutely not the case. If you look at Plotz's comment, it's exactly what most editors will say:

Pages that run too long can irritate readers. We run stories of 2,000, 4,000, even 6,000 words, and to run that much text down a single page can daunt and depress a reader. So pagination can make pages seem more welcoming, more chewable.

They really believe this.

It's important to realize that despite all the buzz about A/B testing in the industry, editors pretty universally believe they don't need to validate their opinions through testing. Why not? Because though school and their careers they've been told that their opinions matter, and, in fact, that's all their job really is: voicing opinions and making judgements, because they believe they have special insight into what readers want.

Look no further than Poltz, a writer and editor with no software design or development experience, who somehow believes he's qualified to make that statement.
PHP is itself a template engine.

Bolting a template engine on top of that makes no sense whatsoever.
Pageviews only matter in, obviously, a pageview driven ad model. In other instances, like the author mentions with Buzzfeed, pure pageviews aren't the entire goal. If publishers can get advertisers more interested in unique visitors and (especially) length of time on the site, then pageviews could be less important, and terrible practices like Mashable-esque page-reload sliders and six page articles can start to go away.
Well what is canonical and authoritative?

Most people keep an email address for years and that's a lot more than own their own domain.

I simply don't know what would work better than an email address as a virtual identifier - if u have a suggestion please (seriously I want to know) say

edit: wow am I in a bad mood. sorry! I would still like to know if there is a better answer than email addresses - but more politely. Cheers

>there are copycats that don't do the testing, don't optimize for their niche of readers, and are probably losing both money and readers because of it.

I think this is much more common than sophisticated A/B testing.

At our publication, we were able to make the business case that the added pageviews from pagination didn't make much of an impact on the bottom-line. Because we generally run out of premium ad inventory each month anyway, most of the extra impressions were just for extremely low-revenue, Google-served remnant ads. Again, some publications thrive on volume, but it's a tough way to make money as CTR on Google ads is very low.

>If it didn't improve their revenues, they wouldn't be doing it.

The publishing industry has not always been about maximizing profits. The weird hybrid of advertising and reader-supported has created a different mentality in the business. There are plenty of things that publishers still do- like supporting foreign correspondents- that are driven more by the editorial side of than the business side.
For now, yes. But we are working on it. Recently, we released Pyjnius (http://github.com/kivy/pyjnius) to access dynamically Java from Python. That way, we can access to various Android API without any Java code. We are doing the same with objective-C: pyobjus (http://github.com/kivy/pyobjus), but not yet finished.

The analogy breaks down quickly, because cars are mostly standalone, and can be replaced with little risk, while software is often complex and interconnected, so the benefit of a rewrite in a new language only rarely exceed the massive risks of abandoning your clunky but well-tested codebase.

But, sticking with it, it's comes down to there being a huge market in parts and service. Something like all taxis in the US still being Ford Ts, with very little forecast of change.

Those examples aren't good differentiators between PHPUnit and Phake. And unfortunately, despite how goot Composer it, it just adds another package management system into the mix. GitHub has ended up being the best package manager PHP could really ask for.

I kind of view the native PHP development server as getting featural parity with Rails and Django. But it seems like that's a major gripe for developers who are averse to working with Apache or Nginx for being too complex.

I'm very excited for traits as a feature. This is when we get into real language features other, more prestigious or "hot" web development languages actually have that PHP lacks. These result in true architectural deficiencies requiring annoying hacks to accommodate.

In the end, PHP itself benefits most from expanding its capacities as a logical formalism. Tools are great, but they're also a lot less easier to get right.

> Lenovo should just always stick the good one in there

I'm sympathetic to this argument - there's always the oddball page in the configuration process that doesn't make sense, like the not-actually-selectable "Selectable SIM" on the current page for the T430. But the number of choices that actually don't make sense isn't that high, and the wifi adapter is not a good example. Which is "the good one"? The one with a working driver for someone's oddball OS, or the one with 802.11a support for someone's legacy network?

Do you think Lenovo should do away with one of the two palmrest combinations on the T430, and if so, which one, the one with the fingerprint reader or the one without?
This is really amazing. Surprised that this doesn't move higher up the HN front page.
Only one thing sucks more than pagination: a very long article, you accidentally scroll and forget which section you are reading.

Pagination is better than no navigation, this is why Google Image Search is weird to navigate. The absence of proper pagination may be even the reason Google Wave has found no friends beyond its believers.

Pagination sucks when text length per page is too short and even more when 50% of the content consists of advertisements. I avoid such websites.
Typical Drupal FUD.

"Configuration lives in configuration tables" : the OP's point exactly. Configuration should live in a VCS

Bear in mind also that "configuration" van be so complex with Drupal it's often more along the lines of being "an application". A non-trivial view is hugely complicated and yet all its settings and code live in the database entirely, with no way to either back it up in a VCS or deploy it from a development environment to a live environment without manually copying the settings from one to the other.
Yeah, most sites would be happy with that. But most sites didn't have the momentum to grow 8 times as quickly less than a year ago. Slowing of growth is important, not the absolute numbers.
I did guesstimate that in. You'd only need to save an average of $200k per year to get to $1M savings in five years, you can do that before you hit the $400k rates.

I'm not really familiar with US costs of living, where I come from $50k is an upper middle class salary. Quick googling got me 5k as the ballpark for the health insurance fee for a single person, and with a family you'd probably have a spouse chipping in, so that doesn't look like a dealbreaker. Housing is tricky, apparently "live in an apartment, don't have a car" doesn't work in the US for some reason. You could always move to a rural area with cheap housing, but that does get a bit extreme, and then you'd need to figure out the costs of getting everywhere by car.
Those features are a persuasive argument against smarty as a template language.

One of the worst flaws of php is that it makes it easy to mix up code and the view, which is ok if you're writing a single page, and terribly dangerous if you're writing anything more complex.

I've experienced this myself writing templates for things like phpbb (thankfully not something I do frequently) - every time the forum updates, the templates have to be patched again - they even have a weird patching system to try to work around the issue with code in views.

A better template language would actually limit the amount you can do in your view files to the bare minimum - something like mustache comes to mind. If you want to keep the views maintainable, easy to swap out, and easy to add alternatives to like json or XML as well as HTML, the aim should be to reduce the lines in your codebase by putting the filters, caching and logic around your views in helpers rather than inside your views.

I'll ignore your general disdain for writers and editors, and point out that not all readers want the same thing. I've pushed for non-paginated articles at my publication, but I admit that I'm not always happy with the result, and we do hear reader complaints about not being able to orient themselves in an article like this:

I'm curious to hear what people think of a hybrid pagination system, like that currently used by Computing Now magazine. I like that it gives the user a sense of the article length without interrupting the flow of reading.

I once drank three cups a day, if not five or six. Always very thick, almost enough to strip the paint off of a battleship, occasionally with cream but usually black. That started sometime in college - first or second year. Didn't have much exposure to caffeine before that so the addiction was quick.

Fast forward a decade, and the anxiety from the caffeine was getting really bad, I couldn't sleep, and the coffee (among other things) was eating into my stomach. So I quit caffeine entirely. The headaches. The "not right" tingling. The other withdrawal symptoms usually associatted with hard drugs. I was convinced I was going crazy for a spell. But in time that all went away.

Now I drink zero cups a day and sometimes feel like a zombie. Unfortunately even a small trace of caffeine (like in rich chocolate or an occasional small cup of something caffeinated) triggers a relapse. I do occasionally fall face-first off of the wagon. But the withdrawal symptoms are nowhere near as bad as they were the first time.

When I'm "on" caffeine, I feel like I'm sharper. Mental tasks seem to be easier, and maybe they are. But the overall feeling from being (mostly) off the stuff is better. I can sleep again. I don't get the shakes as I'm coming down from the "high." But somedays... I just feel like I'm not here. Like I still need that hit.

Also, I don't buy the argument about a difficulty to create a routing program. One can create it, others will just download and use.
A lot of good people are working on a lot of PHP that isn't going away, and obviously they are going to improve tooling and the language itself. There is a renaissance in terms of making PHP development sane and thus not something good people run away screaming from - a bit like Java.

But the benefits of starting a new project in PHP are few: All of the original benefits (mainly low barrier to entry) are eradicated, and that leaves PHP to compete directly, as a full development environment, not as the only easy way to get code on the web, with a myriad of other languages that can, almost objectively, be thought of as better. Again, a bit like Java.
I see the same - its a terrible pattern and the only time it gets broken is on the extremely rare occasions when someone with experience AND ability to express the issue precisely shows up.

Other wise its always a death spiral at worst or a holding pattern on average.

I think yours is a larger general case - and I am trying to invoke perhaps a child case with the addition of privilege blindness.

What is tragic that this is a perfect example of good intentions that lead to terrible results.
"That means that it can scale from anywhere from something like a 16 year-old's shared-host fanfiction site to say Whitehouse.gov."

Scaling to Whitehouse.gov is not impressive at all. Like a 16 year-old's shared-host fanfiction site whitehouse.gov really is nothing more than a content site, albeit a very large one.

The problem is Drupal isn't content to simply be a CMS. It has to pretend to be a framework for developing web apps as well, and for that it's just plain terrible.
